Artificial grass gives you a lawn that stays green all year, with no mowing and no muddy patches. We lay it for homes, landlords, schools and small businesses across South Wales, in front and back gardens, play areas and shaded corners where real grass struggles. A good result depends mostly on the base, so most of our effort goes into preparing the ground.
We look at the garden first and agree the area, the type of grass and the cost with you before we start. Then we remove the old surface, build the base, fit the turf and leave the garden clean. Landlords and businesses are welcome to ask about larger or repeat areas too.
Artificial grass is only as good as what is under it. We cut out the old turf and soil to the right depth, then build a compacted, levelled sub-base. A weed membrane goes over the top to hold back growth from below. If the base is soft or uneven, you see every dip and ripple in the finished surface. We would rather spend time on the groundwork than hide problems with the turf.
Drainage is just as important. Rain needs somewhere to go, and South Wales gets plenty of it, so we check how water moves across the garden before we lay anything. A well prepared base lets rainwater pass through, which helps keep the lawn from becoming waterlogged and the edges from lifting. Shaded and sheltered gardens can stay damp, so we pay close attention to the levels there.
Once the base is ready, we fit edging so the lawn has a firm, clean boundary against paths, borders and walls. The turf is rolled out and left to settle, then cut to fit around corners, trees and features. We join sections carefully and fix them so the seams are hard to see, and the surface stays flat underfoot. Tell us which direction you want the pile to face, as that affects how the garden looks from the house.
The last stage is brushing in, which lifts the fibres and gives the grass a natural look. We then clear the offcuts and old turf away. Day-to-day care is light: a brush now and then, leaves removed, and an occasional rinse. We can explain what suits your household, including pets and children. It is also worth asking about how the grass should be treated near barbecues or hot items.
It suits many small town gardens, shaded areas under trees or fences where lawns go thin, and play spaces that need a soft, tidy surface. Sloping valley gardens can work well too, since the base is built to follow the ground. It is a low-maintenance choice, though it is not for every garden and every taste. We also talk through the look you want, so you are happy with the colour and pile.
Before you decide, think about how the garden is used, how much sun it gets and where the water will go. Consider access for materials, and what you want beside the lawn, such as paving or borders. If you are unsure, tell us what bothers you about your lawn, and we will give an honest view. Landlords and schools may also want to consider who will look after it over the year.

Artificial grass suits small, shady or well-used gardens that are tiresome to mow, provided it is laid on a properly prepared, well-drained base.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →We dig out the existing turf and the top layer of soil, then take it away with the other waste. This leaves a clean surface to build the new base on. Laying artificial grass straight over a real lawn is not something we recommend.
It can, when the base underneath is built for it. We prepare a compacted, levelled sub-base so rainwater passes through rather than sitting on top. Drainage depends on the garden itself, so we check how water moves across your plot before we lay the grass.
Yes, it is often chosen for exactly those places. Shaded corners and play spaces tend to end up muddy or bare with real grass. Artificial turf stays green and even in them. We can talk through the options if children or pets will be using the area.
Very little compared with a real lawn. There is no mowing, feeding or reseeding. You will want to brush the surface now and then, remove fallen leaves and rinse it occasionally. We can explain simple care when the grass is fitted. Ask us if you want more detail.
